Surgical Adhesives

Surgical adhesives are specialized glues designed for use on living tissue. Laboratories around the world use these adhesives to test new surgical techniques and materials. One of the most widely used types of surgical adhesive is cyanoacrylate, commonly known as super glue. At WPI, we offer a range of adhesives, including cyanoacrylate glues, silicone glues, and epoxy glues. These surgical skin adhesives help lab technicians resurface and rebond tissue samples for further analysis.
